It's the latest news.... another tradgedy and more broken hearts...
Including mine.
Mike Battle was not only an extremely close friend... one of my best.... but he was family.
John was also a very close friend who I didn't get to see often but was greatly missed when he was not around.
Today was John's memorial service and funeral. It was hard to say goodbye... but it had to be done.
May he Rest In Peace.
I talked to Mike's grandparents after the ceremony....
They saw what I had said on WLOX about Mike and asked me to say something at the funeral.
I accepted.
I'm hoping I can hold it together, but if not.... Ashley and Bob will be there with me to keep me strong and finish things if I need them to.
To all who knew Mike:
We all know that Mike loved life... and lived EVERY moment to the fullest.
He accepted all of us from minute one and never asked any questions about it.
He was fun loving and simply just loved to love other people.
I love him with all my heart.... and at times... a lot of them... he was my heart.
It's hard to come to the realization that he is gone... it hasn't set in yet.
I miss him so much already... as I'm sure everyone else does as well.
We'll get through this... knowing that Mike and John are in a better place....
Mike in his DREAM car doing donuts....
And John playing the best game of golf he ever has...
RIP Mike and John.... you'll live forever in my heart.
